Adelaide University Karate - Seishikan

And another calendar season has come to an end. It's time for a little Autumn Training summary! It was intense - we hosted Ishida Sensei, we went to State and National championships, we had a little Japanese and Chinese grammar intro (thanks, Cheng!) and we basically had fun.

On the International Children's Day we would like to thank you all for all the hard work you put into trainings!

Great initiative!
Who's in?

On April 10th, 11th, 12th we had an honor to host ISHIDA SENSEI at our Dojo.
The Workshop was FREE of charge and open to all our Members of all levels. We are glad and proud to report that our Beginners did NOT WASTE this opportunity and showed up at all training sessions across all 3 days!
Our Students shared their feedback after the event and we can honestly say - each and every Member said they got more than they imagined they would get.
Ishida Sensei - 7th Dan Kyoshi JKF Gojukai - showed us not only the Karate techniques, but also Karate Spirit.

Focused. Fast. Confident.
Patient. Respectful. Humble.

Training under Ishida Sensei's guidance left a lasting impression for sure - our Admin needed a whole month to put few words together about this Workshop!
See for yourself some bits and pieces from April 2026, and JOIN our Club NOW, to secure your spot at this yearly event in 2027!

Our Member likes to compete... and she is good at it!

Last couple of weeks were rich in events for the Karate world: our Club hosted one Very Important Guest from Japan, then our Senseis went to Sydney for a JKF Gojukai Seminar, and with all that happening, our Member managed to show some pretty cool Katas on both, State and National championships!

Our Team of extremely experienced Senseis is always ready to support our Members' aspirations. Come train with us!
